Chapter 402: Han Li, Come Out and Die!

"Act early?"

Hearing Chen Ye’s words, Han Li was momentarily stunned.

He asked, "Chen Ye, is it because of the dilemma I’m facing that you’re thinking this way?"

Chen Ye thought for a moment, then said, "Not entirely. I’m also a part of Xia Nation—how could I stand by while those foreign bastards parade their power and do nothing?"

"With your current strength, what are your odds against Adam?" Han Li asked again.

Chen Ye paused in thought and replied, "Hard to say exactly, but I’m confident—he absolutely can’t kill me."

In fact, during his time as a branch bureau chief, Chen Ye had sent people to collect information on Adam. The Central Bureau had helped as well. Adam was a well-known figure in the Lord God Space, so data on him wasn’t hard to obtain.

Chen Ye had a rough understanding of him.

In the Dragon Ball world, Adam had studied under Master Roshi, learning to harness ki and mastering the Turtle School martial arts.

His current strength came entirely from his Super Saiyan bloodline. Within the Lord God Space, this was one of the rarest and most expensive bloodlines. Each stage of enhancement cost an astronomical number of Reincarnation Points.

So, it was almost certain that Adam’s fighting style resembled the Dragon Ball protagonist "Kakarot (Son Goku)"—a brute-force approach focused on raw power. He likely didn’t have the surplus points to dabble in flashy or complicated skills.

It was confirmed that Adam could now transform into Super Saiyan 2.

However, the transformation boosts in the Lord God Space differed from the original series.

According to rumor, in Dragon Ball, transforming into a Super Saiyan granted a 50× power boost (though actual battle performance was likely less). But in the Lord God Space, Super Saiyan Stage 1 only increased power 8×, and Stage 2 only 16×.

In other words, the Super Saiyan bloodline in the Lord God Space was a nerfed version—probably to prevent Reincarnators from growing too strong too fast.

Even so, it remained one of the most prized and rarest resources in the Lord God Space.

Adam was also the only Reincarnator known to possess the Super Saiyan bloodline and had even pushed it to Super Saiyan 2. This alone proved his extraordinary capabilities.

Previously—

Chen Ye and Han Li had already discussed Adam’s base attributes.

Since Adam followed a power-over-skill style, his Strength attribute was undoubtedly the highest.

Han Li estimated that Adam’s Strength had already surpassed 10,000.

For a warrior, Constitution and Agility were also crucial.

However, Adam’s other two stats were surely lower than his Strength. Even reaching half would be considered excellent.

Thus, when transformed into Super Saiyan 2, Adam’s Strength should be over 160,000...

From raw numbers alone, his Strength surpassed Chen Ye’s.

But Chen Ye had received Saitama’s dream transmission and comprehended the Law of Strength. When it came down to it, who was stronger was still uncertain.

Even if Adam’s Strength was superior, that didn’t mean he could defeat Chen Ye.

Because Chen Ye’s Saitama Physique developed all attributes evenly—not just monstrous Strength, but also terrifying Constitution and Speed.

Adam, on the other hand, only had his Strength worth mentioning. Even with Super Saiyan 2, his Constitution and Agility couldn’t compare to Chen Ye’s.

...

Of course—

All of this was just Chen Ye’s personal analysis.

He had never fought Adam directly, so nothing was certain.

Which was why he didn’t make any bold claims—only said that Adam couldn’t kill him.

It was the cautious approach.

However, Han Li was thinking on a deeper level.

"Adam is a man without principles, ruthless and cunning—like a venomous snake!"

Han Li said gravely, "If we’re going to deal with him, we have to be absolutely certain. If we strike, we must kill! If you fail to kill the snake, it will retaliate. If cornered, he may even drag Earth down with him."

Chen Ye frowned slightly at those words.

Of course he understood Han Li’s point. Given a bit more time to grow stronger, he’d have even greater assurance.

"But... Old Han, what about the tournament? Are we really going to hand over three cities?"

Han Li frowned, then said, "I’ll tell them that Xia Nation is withdrawing from this tournament."

Chen Ye blinked: "Can you do that? Will those foreign bastards agree?"

Han Li said, "Whether they agree or not is their problem. The official reason is that Xia Nation lacks enough participants. We will not compete—unless they agree to reinstate you for the finals."

"Won’t they target us for that?" Chen Ye asked.

Han Li nodded, then replied, "They wouldn’t dare start a war outright. At most, they’ll try to target Xia’s Reincarnators in the Lord God Space, using that pressure to make me give in. When that happens, I’ll notify all Reincarnators within Xia borders to avoid missions temporarily. I know people will curse me for this—but I can live with being cursed by 300,000 Reincarnators. It’s better than being cursed by the entire country."

Hearing that, Chen Ye was momentarily speechless.

Han Li smiled and said, "Once you kill Adam, everything will resolve itself."

Chen Ye finally nodded in agreement.

If there was a steady path, he naturally preferred the stable route.

However—

Chen Ye was still a little uneasy.

Things were definitely not as simple as Han Li made them sound...

"Old Han, you said yourself Adam has no bottom line. I’m worried he’ll go to extremes—like launching a decapitation strike on you..."

He didn’t finish the rest of the sentence.

If Han Li were killed, no one would be left to stop the West’s schemes.

"I admit the guy’s destructive power is terrifying, but defeating a cultivator like me takes more than brute force."

Clearly, Han Li had his own methods.

After a pause, he added, "Still, your warning makes sense. I’ll prepare a Heaven Net Grand Array. If he dares show up, he’ll regret it."

Chen Ye nodded, dropping the subject.

Next—

The two arrived at a wooden hut, where Han Li activated the teleportation array and sent Chen Ye to the Xianxia World... for his date with Qin Muyin.

...

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye—

Over half a month had gone by.

The martial arts tournament was fast approaching—just a few days left.

Countless Reincarnators were talking about what might happen this time.

After all, word had already spread that no one from Xia Nation dared to enter. Many Reincarnators within the country were worried—how would Director Han respond?

As for foreign Reincarnators, they were just waiting to laugh.

Then, with only five days left before the tournament began, Director Han Li suddenly announced: Due to a lack of qualified participants, Xia Nation will not compete in this tournament.

The news stunned countless Reincarnators!

At this point, even fools could see—the martial arts tournament had become a battlefield between East and West. It was a calculated ploy by the Western nations to erode and suppress the East.

Now, with Xia Nation’s strongest Reincarnator officially backing out, would the Western powers let this slide?

In the Reincarnator forums...

Ever since Director Han Li announced Xia Nation’s withdrawal, the forums had exploded with activity...

"Haha! The Director suddenly pulled out—those foreign bastards must be losing their minds now!"

"You’re too naïve! Just wait—they’ll definitely come up with some scheme to retaliate against us."

"I’m really worried... could this lead to full-scale war between both sides?"

"God, no! If S-rank powerhouses start fighting, can Earth even survive that?"

"Rumor has it Adam once used a single energy blast to destroy an alien planet in a certain interstellar scenario. You tell me."

"Holy crap! Don’t scare me like that..."

"Everyone, how about we start a fundraiser to buy a space battleship? If Earth gets destroyed, that’s our only way to survive!"

Clearly, many Reincarnators were growing uneasy about the current situation.

And not long after Han Li’s official announcement, the Western Reincarnator organizations issued a joint statement.

In short: "Xia Nation’s failure to send participants is their own problem. However, voluntarily forfeiting the tournament is a blatant provocation toward the global Reincarnator community. In response, measures will be taken..."

Just as Han Li had expected, these so-called "measures" referred to targeting Xia’s Reincarnators inside the Lord God Space scenario worlds.

The announcement instantly sparked outrage from many Xia Reincarnators.

"Damn! What kind of BS punishment is this? The Director made the decision—what does that have to do with us? Why are we the ones being punished?"

"What the hell... just sitting at home and suddenly get hit with blame from the heavens?"

"What’s it like when the drama you’re watching suddenly turns into your own?"

"Disgusting! Those foreign dogs are out of line. If you’ve got guts, come at me—I dare you."

"I just want to quietly grind scenarios and get stronger. Why the hell am I being forced to carry this burden? Director, don’t you owe us an explanation?"

"Yeah! Director of that bureau, aren’t you supposed to be so awesome? Can you clean up this mess on your own now?"

"Heh, you sure know how to crack down on your own people. But when it comes to foreign powers, you can’t even fart in protest?"

"Bro, what kind of logic is that? You expect the Director to go back and enter the tournament just to hand over three major cities for free?"

...

Inside an office—

Chen Ye was staring at the forum threads, frowning slightly.

After the Western retaliatory measures were announced, a surprising number of people were actually blaming Han Li?

Wasn’t it obvious this was just foreign tyranny and shamelessness?

After a moment of thought, Chen Ye simply called Han Li.

"Old Han, did you see the Western countermeasure announcements?"

A calm voice replied through the phone, "I saw. Expected it."

"I also noticed a lot of bad voices online..."

"As expected. Don’t worry about it."

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, "Still, I’m a little concerned. Adam might do something extreme... how about I temporarily station myself at HQ?"

There was a brief pause on the other end before Han Li replied, "Very well. Hand off your current duties and come have tea and a Dao chat with me."

After hanging up—

Chen Ye quickly delegated his work to the vice director.

Oh, right—

The vice director was an old acquaintance: Captain Wu, the same frontline officer Chen Ye had worked with in the past.

Now that Chen Ye had become a branch chief, he naturally promoted his own people.

Thanks to his past kindness, Wu had been pulled up along with him—his entire team had received promotions.

Once the handoff was complete, Chen Ye immediately departed that same night and flew straight to the capital.

The urgency?

Chen Ye didn’t want to wait too long.

If Adam truly couldn’t hold back and launched an attack on Han Li, it would be a disaster.

Even though Han Li had made preparations and laid down powerful arrays, accidents still couldn’t be ruled out...

Over the past few months, Chen Ye had come to respect Han Li. He didn’t want to see him die like this.

Especially since Qin Muyin was still residing in Han Li’s personal scenario world.

Although she’d slain quite a few elite enemies that Chen Ye had sent to her and was fully capable of returning to Blue Star on her own at any time...

If she did, it might mean she’d drift away from Chen Ye.

And he hadn’t yet gotten his fill of the mature lady’s gentle warmth. He wasn’t ready to let Qin Muyin go just yet...

...

Capital City.

Past 9 PM.

In the final courtyard of the Reincarnation Bureau HQ, within a wooden hut, Han Li was meditating.

The reason he stayed in the hut was because it contained a teleportation array, allowing him to absorb spiritual energy from the Xianxia World.

After all, Earth had no spiritual energy.

In an emergency, the array could also instantly transport him away from Earth.

After a short while—

Han Li opened his eyes, his expression grim.

In truth, he didn’t need Chen Ye’s warning—he had already noticed the shift in public opinion online.

Seeing the slander and ridicule from his "colleagues" naturally made him uncomfortable.

A few isolated voices he could ignore—but when they multiplied, he had no choice but to take it seriously.

So why didn’t Han Li strike back with his own sanctions?

Because it would make him a laughingstock.

Xia Nation’s Reincarnators made up less than a third of the global total. What power did they have to sanction the massive alliance of multiple countries?

Worse yet, under his leadership, the Reincarnation Bureau had been suppressing the troublemakers for years—breeding resentment among many Reincarnators.

If he actually announced retaliation, there probably wouldn’t be many who’d follow.

Not just outside the Bureau.

Even within HQ, Han Li had heard plenty of discontented murmurs.

At this moment—

Han Li actually felt... isolated.

"Old Han!"

A voice called from outside the hut.

Hearing it, Han Li immediately rose and walked out.

Seeing the figure waiting outside, Han Li smiled. "Chen Ye, you arrived at the perfect time. The spiritual tea just finished brewing—come have a cup."

Chen Ye nodded, about to respond—

When suddenly, a shocking voice rang out.

"Han! Your time is up!!"

A thunderous shout—

Resounded through the skies above the capital city...
